“…According to the results of this review Brazilian scientists are the most prolific authors within the region, with around 32% of the total production in the region and a contribution of 53 documents to this review. The information produced by Brazilian scientists dealing with CW covers a wide spectrum of topics, including papers describing the state-of-the-art constructed wetlands in the country [10,110], life-cycle analysis contributions [63], hydraulics [112], removal of recalcitrant pollutants [115], and other topics related to the performance of CWs operating under different conditions. Brazil is the only country that has reported research on the five different technologies analyzed.…”

The review aims to report the state-of-the-art constructed wetlands (CW) in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region not limited to national and local conditions. The aim is with a broader view, to bring updated and sufficient information, to facilitate the use of the CW technology in the different countries of LAC. Thus, 520 experiences extracted from the 169 reviewed documents in 20 countries were analyzed. According to the data, horizontal subsurface flow wetlands are the most reported CW in the region (62%), the second most common CW technology in the region is free water surface CW (17%), then vertical flow systems (9%), followed by intensified constructed wetlands (8%), and finally French systems (4%). The performance for nutrient removal is analyzed, finding that the mean of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Nitrogen (TN), and Total Phosphorous (TP) removal efficiencies varies from 65% to 83%, 55% to 72%, and 30% to 84%, respectively. The results suggest a generally good performance for COD and TN removal, but a low performance for TP removal. Regarding plant species used for CWs, 114 different plant species were reported, being until now the most extensive report about plant species used in CWs in the LAC region.

“…The efficient use of water has been studied (Gervásio et al, 2017) and use of heliconia as alternative for the control of wastewater contamination. In the latter mentioned, heliconias are used in high-speed artificial wetlands that use artificial carriers for bacterial growth as a support medium in a process of phytodepuration against emerging contaminants (Peña-Salamanca et al, 2013;Atalla et al, 2019;Cano et al, 2019;Corzo and Sanabria, 2019;Oliveira et al, 2019;Pérez-Salazar et al, 2019;Sandoval et al, 2019;Cano et al, 2020).…”

Global vision of heliconias research as cut flower: a review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

It is relevant to systematize the global knowledge generated about heliconia due to its economic importance in tropical floriculture and the cut flower market. The objective was to explore the results generated in scientific research related to the cultivation of heliconias as cut flower in terms of its methodological approach, research axes, and spatial distribution in terms of the contributions by country. A bibliographic search was conducted in Scopus, Web of science and SciELO based on the keywords “heliconia” and “tropical flowers”. Thereafter, a content analysis of the documents was conducted with the Nvivo software using a priori categories in terms of methodological approach, research axes, year, countries, and cultivars or varieties. The results indicate that the scientific contributions are mostly under a quantitative approach (98.1%). The investigations mainly address productive aspects (74.5%), post-harvest aspects (16.1%), market (6.7%) while industry-used products (2.5%) are scarcely addressed. The countries that make the most contributions are: Brazil (54.5%), Colombia (15.4%) and Mexico (10.9%). The most important species are: H. psittacorum, H. bihai, H. spathocircinata, H. rostrata and H. wagneriana. These results suggest conducting research to identify problems from the physiological, environmental, productive, and economic processes, as well as considering the strategies of farmers as a priority. This must be approached from paradigms where social actors (farmers), their development and the impacts of their social tasks on the cultivation of heliconias are considered the main axis.

“…Oliveira et al (2019) studied the removal efficiency of ibuprofen and caffeine in water by two kinds of CWs. One was vertical flow constructed wetland (VF‐CW), in which sand was used as filter medium to grow coracoid conch with and without earthworm.…”

“…The removal effect of EPs by CWs is mainly affected by many factors, such as the configuration of CWs, plants, hydraulic retention time, and operation mode (Ilyas & Hullebusch, 2019). CWs have a good removal effect for some EPs (Campos et al, 2019; Oliveira et al, 2019). However, the secondary pollution of matrix and the formation of toxic intermediates after long‐term operation need to be concerned (Christou et al, 2019; Ghimire et al, 2019).…”

Emerging pollutants (EPs) refer to a class of pollutants, which are emerging in the environment or recently attracted attention. EPs mainly include pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs), endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). EPs have potential threats to human health and ecological environment. In recent years, the continuous detections of EPs in surface and ground water have brought huge challenges to water treatment and also made the treatment of EPs become an international research hotspot. This paper summarizes some research results on EPs treatment published in 2019. This paper may be helpful to understand the current situations and development trends of EP treatment technologies.
